Going by the math, this means only 140 million people have some shade of green as an eye color. There are only a handful of celebrities who have green eyes and even a smaller number who are male.

I did not know they were that rare, I assumed they were more common than blue eyes :)
Also adding this:
Quote:
If you are Middle Eastern, Spanish, Brazilian or North African decent, there is a higher likelihood of green eyes running in your family.

it turns out that they should be even more rare among central/northern Europeans (and more common among Mediterranean)?
That is very strange to me, again I really imagined that most of non southern Europeans have green eyes. Huge mistake by me... ? :error
EDIT: the above quote is wrong (as expected) though, more believable one:
Quote:
They are most common in Northern and Central Europe.[63][64] They can also be found in Southern Europe and Western Asia.
